In the event of rapid depressurization, oxygen masks will fall..

So there I was, watching "Supercross" the movie, praying that Supercross 2 is never made and totally not understanding how Air Canada picked this as a movie for all the month of November..When all the sudden Pop..flop.. there are 3 emergency oxygen masks hanging in front of me. Just me.

Being me, I think 2 thoughts, 1."OK..so I am the only one that gets to breath, I better get ready to defend my oxygen." and 2. "Obviously this is a mistake, I would look really stupid if I put it on and activated the O2" (and cost AC some $$ and a delay to fix the system.)

I flag a passing FA, she is as bewildered as me. In the end the system was stuffed back into the overhead area. The Captain later decided that it might not deploy should I actually need to use it, so it was pried open by my seat mate with a credit card and left hanging for the duration of the flight.

Instead of asking him to provide an answer to a question completely unrelated to his blog - why don't you email him at the address provided right here in the blog?Or is posting through here more "safe" for you? Hell - didn't CWA go under like 3 years ago? Get some therapy for it dude. No one else cares that you got fired from your crappy job.

The Company assigned a flight crewmember for flight duty when the flight duty time exceeded 14 consecutive hours in any 24 consecutive hours.

The Company permitted a person to act as a flight crewmember when that person had not successfully completed a pilot proficiency check for that type of aircraft.

The Company failed to make specified entries in the aircraft journey log.

On three occasions, the Company failed to ensure that entries made in a technical record were accurate, legible and permanent.

On fourteen separate occasions and at multiple locations, the Company operated an aircraft when it had not been maintained in accordance with a maintenance control system described in the Maintenance Control Manual

Also the Captain or Aircraft do not turn anything on. The pin is pulled when the makes is drain towards you. That activates an oxygen generator in overhead panel. Each unit for each set of seats operates independently.
